QUESTION NO.: 829
DATE OF PUBLICATION: 25 JULY 2014
Mr K P Sithole (IFP) to ask the Minister of Human Settlements:
Whether her department has any plans to build proper housing structures in
Dukathole informal settlement in Germiston; if not, why not, if so; what
are the relevant details? NW916E
REPLY
The Department has plans to build proper housing structures in Dukathole
informal settlement in Germiston.
The Dukathole Informal settlement is located in South Germiston Ext 7 and
8. The township has a complex history that has resulted in part of the land
being owned by the occupants and other portions that are invaded. The
density of the settlement is extremely high and the availability of
developable land in the area is limited. A project plan has been developed
that will provide a phased implementation of higher density dwelling units
in order to accommodate the community.
